ST CAMELIAN, BISHOP OF TROYES - 28 JULY

SAINT CAMELIAN, BISHOP OF TROYES

O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
make my heart like unto Thine.

Saint Camelian (Camelianus) is commemorated on July 28. A Bishop of Troyes in Champagne, Camelian was a disciple of Saint Lupus and his successor in the episcopal see of that city. He attended the Council of Orléans in 511 and died either in 525 or 536. Some have considered him to be the same person as Saint Himerius (November 12), but this is incorrect, as the Bollandists* clearly demonstrate.

The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem.
